## Resource

With us this week is comic writer Alex Paknadel to discuss his current Cyclops series! We dive into how Alex got into the industry initially through being killed off in comics, the most compelling Maggott story ever told, and the premise of the Cyclops mini-series that was left on the cutting room floor because it was simply...too much.
